The geometry, proportion, and spatial distribution of fluvial deposits are critical components in subsurface reservoir analysis, but their prediction can be difficult. This study describes and compares an amalgamated, high ...

Human Pose Estimation is an important problem in computer vision that has received considerable attention in recent years. The multitude of application's related to Visual Surveillance, Human Computer Interaction and ...

The non-linear properties observed in charge density wave compounds have been studied for many years. The quasi one-dimensional conductor NbSe3 is particularly important because a small electric field can depin the charge ...

We are told from an early age not judge a book by its cover. This idiom is the perfect way to look at my research; it expresses the idea that what we present on the outside is, many times, a cloak to hide what is really ...

The influence of radio-frequency (rf) electromagnetic fields on biological tissues plays a critical role in their diagnostic and therapeutic applications. These include hyperthermia and rf ablation modalities for cancer, ...

In this thesis we prove statistical properties of dynamical systems on a lattice with randomly occurring jumps. The original model of this type, called a hybrid system, was introduced by E. Kobre and L. S. Young in 2007. ...

There are two parts in this dissertation. In the first part we prove that genuine nonuniformly hyperbolic dynamics emerge when flows in $\mbb{R}^{N}$ with
homoclinic loops or heteroclinic cycles are subjected to certain ...

High-resolution images provide more information for better post-processing such as detection, recognition, segmentation, identification, and visualization. The need for high-resolution images occurs in health care, where ...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are 22-24 nucleotides non-coding RNAs that can simultaneously influence the levels of multiple target genes and have the potential to strongly silence multiple gene networks. MYCN and ALK are well ...

ABSTRACT
Study Objectives: Evidence suggests that regular exercise can protect against learning and memory impairment in the presence of insults such as stroke and neurodegeneration. The purpose of this study was to ...

Previous research on the relation between ethnic match and treatment outcomes has focused on examining Asian Americans as a whole and not as distinct ethnic groups. The present study investigated the relation between ethnic ...

Objective: The overall objective is to develop structure-metabolism relationships (SMRs) between UGTs and flavonoids for predicting glucuronidation of flavonoids. The goals of this research project were to: 1) identify the ...

Purpose: Visual directions of object(s) in space are judged with reference either to the self (egocentric), or to the eye (oculocentric). Perceived egocentric direction (EVD) is based on the combination of sensed eye-position ...

Phonological awareness and orthographic knowledge have been shown in the literature as the two most important precursor skills underlying word identification, which is in turn integral to reading comprehension. Despite the ...

The fundamental parameters in seismic reservoir characterization are P-wave, S-wave velocities, and density. Understanding the relation of these parameters with the pore-fluid content and lithology is the key for this ...

Throughout its twenty-year history, HIV/AIDS has evolved from a disease considered to affect only gay men to one that impacts the lives of men, women, and children of different ages and from various backgrounds. HIV/AIDS ...

With the advent of Big Data technologies-the capacity to store and efficiently process large sets of data, doors of opportunities for developing business intelligence that was previously unknown, has opened. Each phase in ...
